Believe it or not distilled water is a very controversial subject. Many people, such as myself, suggest drinking distilled water to keep from ingesting possibly harmful toxins. Others suggest that the natural nutrients in water are super-beneficial and by removing them from water, we are also removing the benefits of drinking it.
Distilled water is made when you evaporate the water and then condense the vapor. The disadvantage is that it is devoid of any minerals, while drinking water, lets say from a stream, contains microelements.
My point here is that the amount of minerals you really get from water is so minimal, that you have to take supplements anyway, so why take the risk of getting the toxins into your system as well?
Another point is that, today in nature, you will never get clean water as you would in the past. There is nowhere on earth that you will have water without toxins. Almost every river is contaminated in some way. There is everything from mercury to estrogen pollution, which can affect us so severely.
Because we will never have natural water as clean and pure as it should be, I think that it is a better idea to get distilled water and get supplements for the microelements. Water has never been a major source to give us our needs. The awful thing is that even distilled water comes in plastic bottles so you end up getting some toxins anyway.
